Here’s a cool video on Jose Wejebe’s website for selecting the right flats fishing outfit. I found it very helpful and wanted to share.
Choosing the right flats fishing combo
Banana River on Spanish Fly TV with Jose Wejebe
Speaking of Derek and Alden Redwine they will be on an upcoming episode of Spanish Fly with Captain Jose Wejebe. I’m told the show revolves around raising their child on the water and teaching him all about the local marine life, they even catch a few nice fish.
I’m looking forward to the new Spanish Fly season.

1/04/09 Sun 9:30AM – Boca Piala, Mexico
In the state of Quitana Roo on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is a small fishing lodge built in 1959. Located in the heart of the Sian Kaan Ecological Reserve, Boca Paila Fishing Lodge sounds like a sun drenched tropical paradise …..right?
Not so much when a series of tropical weather systems bring torrential rain , wind and squalls though the area, the fishing gets… well…soggy! Not the kind of weather for sight fishing on the flats, however, if you don’t mind getting wet and changing your tactics, there is almost always something to do to catch Bonefish, Snook and even Permit in this unusual ocean meets lagoons transitional area.

Make A Wish, Key West, Florida
The shallow water flats of the “backcountry“ is the stage set for a young man with a double lung transplant to catch some fish and tell of his struggle with Cystic Fibrosis. Christian Goodpaster and Jose Wejebe met some 10 years ago when the Make a Wish foundation put them together in Islamorada.
Join our friends as they hunt the big three of the Grand Slam, a Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon, as well as a few surprise fish on the flats behind Key West and Sugarloaf Key.
